weightyissue

I really don't know what I'm doing, have never blogged before , so not sure how to go about this. My username is 'weightyissue', and i njust wanted to let you know your story sounds exactly like mine...no loss for over 2 weeks after an initial loss of 10 lbs week 1 and 4 pounds week 2....then nothing....I am into my 5th week now and dropped 3 more pounds recentlky but notice they go up and down every coupole of days. I am struggling with theeating as I can't tell what ;full feels like' and have not felt over full although I am sure i should have by now. I think I am eating too much but still feel hungry enough to do that.I must say I am surprised at how many grams of protein you are having(70-120) my surgeon told me 60 grams a day based on my height, (5'5")..Don't give up...I know I have come close to rationalizing in my head why this won't work for me. I hate thosenegative thoughts that I resort to.

I am just finishing my 3rd week ost surgery and tiday had an ovw=erwheling urge to eat potato chips....chewing them till they were mush.....i feel so ashamed tonight and discouraged and this was a response to being told by my Nutritionust that i was eating too many ounces for my meal. She wants me to go back to 2 ounces not 4-6....says it ways too early. i feel your pain here and i think it is what we call head huinger, noit actuqal hunger.....i just couldn't sstop myself today and i'm lucky i didn't do real damage to my sleeve. lets both start oiver tomorrow...fresh start and out this behind us today.

I have had the same stall only very early in the game, and to make matters worse, even though i am staying at 500-600 cal, it it the end of week 3 and i have actually gained 3 pounds. I am just about beside myself and cannot figure out what is going on. I am managing almost all my fluids and not exercising much at this point. I am very discouraged. Had my surgery Aug 2 and was down from 275 to 261 at some point but then back up to 263...definitely going in the wrong direction . I sure didn't expect this so early in the process. any comments would be helpful
